Do You Have A Coffee Table?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434) 5 years ago

If you do have a coffee table, please describe it. What does it look like? Where did you get it? Why do you like it? In which room is your coffee table? Do you keep coffee table books on it? If so, what kind of books?

I look forward to hearing all about your coffee tables. Perhaps you can include a photo of your coffee table. :)

I do have a coffee table. The coffee table is in our living room, which is where we have our television.

We bought the coffee table at Ikea. It is a black color in a square shape - it's about three feet by three feet. There are two drawers in it and two open areas for storage as well.

We have a few books on the coffee table, along with coasters so that cups or glasses are not put on it directly. On our coffee table, we have a really cool book with random covers of the Los Angeles times... covers from the 1900s to the 1990s. There are covers from when the United States entered World War II, the day that John F. Kennedy was shot and the explosion of the shuttle in the 1980s. We also have a few landscaping books because we're currently working on our backyard.

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the coffee table at this moment. However, I hope that I was able to describe it well enough for you to picture it.

Oh yes, jessicalynmartin, you did a lovely job describing your coffee table, and I so appreciate you taking your time to do so. I bet that I would enjoy looking through the books that you have on them. Thanks! :)

Yes,we have a coffee table,and me being ever the clever one,decided that rather than describe it,I would take a picture and let you see,so here it is

there you go,does that win the prize


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Wonderful coffee table, jimbo! Who's legs are in the photo (besides the cats?)

Yes, you win a prize. Don't you think you've gotten enough from me, what with that little boast I made regarding bleaching, and what I had to give when I was wrong? In your honor, I've decided to have it bronzed before I send it.

We have a coffee table, two actually. One is our first purchase as a couple and is currently in the garage being used as storage. Our second is an antique that was a gift when we bought our house. It's in our spare room also being used as storage. They are of course long and hard, but what else did you expect?


myLot reputation of 83/100. jimbo45 (9380)  5 years ago

ong and hard,haha,that pasted wrong,ong indeed


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

I must admit that I didn't know what to expect from you, Katesmama. You could have a long and hard table, or perhaps even something round and soft, or even concave. Who knows? There are all kinds of coffee table styles these days. It's fun to see what everyone has. :)


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3210)   ranked 1,422 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

I would take pictures for you Trans, but I doubt you are too interested in the long and hard of it.

My fiance doesn't have a coffee table, and I don't have a traditional one at home, but I do have two end tables from IDEA, one red and one blue, that I put together as a coffee table, because I like the way they look sitting side by side.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

"because I like the way they look sitting side by side."

Cool! Those are the best kind, danishcanadian! :)

I don't know how to upload a picture to someone else's discussion. :( I have a cherywood hopechest that I used to for my coffee table, but now I use it for display of knick knacks and things of that nature. I don't really have use for a coffee table because I am rarely in my living room.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

That hope chest sounds beautiful, dfn12968. I love cherry wood.

You can't upload images until after your 500th post. :(

But you're almost there!! :)


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  5 years ago

Another myLot mystery solved...thanks. :) I'll be back in 88 posts!


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  5 years ago

Okay, so now that I have hit my 500th post, you get to see the hope chest/coffee table. I know you've been waiting with baited breath... The quality of the photo is really blurry, but you get the idea.:)



myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Thanks for photo! You made it to 500 really fast! I like the chest. What are the plates on top of it? Did you make them?


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  5 years ago

Yeah, I was bored yesterday...LOL.

The plates are decorative plates from different countries. I collect them, sort of unoficially. I have one from Romania, Mexico, Holland, Japan, Brazil, England, and France. Most of them were gifts, although I have been to some of those countries.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Did you travel to those countries for business, fun, other, or all three?


myLot reputation of 94/100. dfn12968 (5532)  5 years ago

Mexico was both. I won employee of the year for my company in 2005, and the awards banquet was held in Cancun. The trip was fully paid for, and they paid for me to bring a guest. The other countries; Holland, England, and France, were all for fun. I've also been to Belgium, Wales, and Canada, but I never thought to get plates from those places for some reason. I'll just have to go back, I guess! The plates from Japan and Brazil came from one of my bosses years ago one from Romania was from one of my employees.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Belated Congratulations for 2005 Employee of the Year! What a nice thing to do for you. I so regret not buying a silver serving set when I was last in Cancun. Guess I'll have to return to get it. :)

6. myLot reputation of 96/100. coffeeshot (2781)   5 years ago

We do not have a coffee table because our loungeroom is too small. I guess we could have a small one in there but my fiance likes to have thecouch pulled close to the front of the room. He's weird. No doubt if we did have a coffee table, it would just be piled up with junk, because every one knows that if there's a flat bare space anywhere in the house i's just asking for junk to be dumped on it. right?


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

I think that you're right about the junk, coffeeshot. I do not have a coffee table for that very reason. Well, that and I just don't like the clutter of one, even though I have plenty of space. Does that make me weird too? ;)

I have a very nice antique coffee table that was a gift from my former mother-in-law!


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Hello kimlot

I enjoy antiques. Out of what material is your coffee table made?


myLot reputation of 98/100. kimlot (4365)  5 years ago

I am not sure but it is old and has a beautiful pattern on the top. I would have to say oak because it is the color of oak!

I don't have a coffee table sweets - I think they are very dangerous and my kids fall over enough without having something else they could hurt themselves on! One day I may aven buy somne chairs or sofas for them to sit on but for now I feel it is far easier to have empty rooms! xx


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

I think that we share the same style sense, mummymo. I like very little furniture as well. We also do not have a coffee table. :)


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 266 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

Trans honey you are back yippee! I have missed you loads - take it your computer was fixed - heard about the lightning - that must have been scary! As for coffee tables the only thing I like to do with coffee is drink it - why have a table for that! xx


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Nah, the computer wasn't fixed. I had to get a new one. But the DSL line was fixed and at the moment I'm on my son's computer until I figure out how my new one works. It's a laptop and I'm trying to figure it out. :)


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 266 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

Hope you manage to figure it out as quick as possible sweetheart! xxx

myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Wow, you got a new avatar, Calais. Have I been away that long?

I like the description of your coffee table, and look foward to the photo of you standing beside it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 266 out of 26,919 in people  5 years ago

Yeah Calais I noticed the avatar earlier and meant to comment but I got sidetracked! lol I actually had to look twice as I someone had stolen your name at first! xxx

I do not have a coffee table at home. We used the dining table as one. There is a little play table for the kids at home, and in fact, I used it as my dining table when the kids are not around. It was a little blue table. What material is it made of I do not know, except it looks like hard plastic to me. The table is not with me now at time of responding, so not able to give you a picture. But, I think you know how it looks like. The table is bought from Toy R Us. LOL.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

You've described a lovely coffee table, whyaskq! :)
